Hi all, I was given an Epson 4990 last Christmas as a gift (non-pro version) I have not even taken it out of the box yet to try it.I have been busy shooting flower macros with my Canon 20d ever since, but am now back to 8x10 film, provia a little, but mostly Tmx 400 and fp4.I am re-thinking the scanner situation.I asked my wife for the 4990 last season after reading Ken Rockwells review of it, and him liking it better than the 1800f.Now I've poured over alot of post here on the subject and it seems its oppisite of Mr. Rockwells opinion.Ultimately I would like to print quality 16x20's from my 8x10's on something like an Epson 4800.Right now I use an Epson 1160 with MIS Eboni on Hahnamule Photo Rag.I have been saving for the 4800 printer, but am wondering if I should tap out that printer savings and get an 1800f before they are gone.I know the 4800 will be around much longer.I am shooting again almost soley 8x10, but do shoot 4x5 on ocassion.I need a little swaying here, is the extra 900.00 for the 1800f going to be worth it over what I already have.Thanks much!
Chris
